Numero Uno

I am slowly developing my kitchen skills as I head down the road to culinary greatness. At 19 I've been cooking and baking since I was 8 years. Nearly everything I know I've taught myself with a few things picked up from my father (grilling/meat expertise), mi madre (with our love for that special ingredient which actually we can't manage to keep secret) and other relative members. Known by my family as "the cookie girl" or "jessie crocker" I have met new members of my family for the first time and am already known as the famous cookie girl. After high school I contemplated culinary school but opted for a less risky route and began working on my bachelors degree in English, which I am currently still working towards with the ending goal being to gain my master's in Library sciences. However my passion for being in the kitchen is still stronger than ever and I am working harder towards improving myself at this time. Think of this as a scratch pad of my journey, my trials, my errors and maybe even a few brilliant successes. There's no telling what I'll throw up here or how it will turn out but in the end I will at least have created a few Savory Memories.
